United Nations Forum on Forests

The United Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF) is an intergovernmental policy forum, established in 2000, which promotes “management, conservation and sustainable development of all types of forests and to strengthen long-term political commitment to this end”. Although being a UN body specifically discussing the issue of forests, other UN initiatives have gained relatively much more attention when it comes to the international discussion on forests, such as the UNFCCC (REDD discussion) and the CBD (biodiversity and forests).
